"We are in Lushnje today hanging out with the other elders because one of the Elders here got transfered up North to Shkoder so we are eating lunch and playing sports with them today. It's a beautiful day for soccer so hopefully we will find some kids around town to come and get a game going with us. This week has been strange. We've been inside a little because of the voting problems and also my comp. has been sick and struggling with horrible allergies so when we do go out its only for about 3 hours before i look at him and his eyes are puffed up and he can't breath because the allergies. I feel bad for the kid but he's a hard worker and insists on going out so it's cool. We are starting up english class tomorrow and i hope we get a good turn out. It will be interesting. My comp. and I will be staying in Fier until July when i leave so i'm excited to be with him again for another transfer. We also had an investigator accept a baptism date so we will be working hard with him to be prepared to be baptized. We also have been getting tons of referrals from members so hopefully some of those people will be ready to learn more about the gospel. I find that here we have had a lot of first lessons but it's hard to get people to continue to meet with us for weeks at a time. It's frustrating but there is a time and place for everyone to learn so i don't let it get to me, well most the time at least =)."
